COON RAPIDS, MN — We may have found Adam Thielen's biggest fan. Brookyln Donnelly, a 7-year-old from Coon Rapids, was devastated when she learned that the Minnesota native and star WR will not be playing in tonight's game against the Washington Redskins.

The adorable, yet also tragic reaction was caught on video and shared with Fox 9:

Thielen came up injured on his touchdown play Sunday against the Detroit Lions, and he wasn't medically-cleared to return to the game. He was ruled OUT to play tonight at home against the Redskins.

The good news is Minnesota (5-2) will play at home this week, and the Redskins (1-6) appear to be the easiest team on their entire schedule this year. So the Vikings could make it through the game without Thielen and still win.
